HTT - LTD (x2 - x3 - x4 - x5) BENCHES

Dagalidis · 07-26-2004, 09:46 PM

I was trying to keep my HT Higher than 1000 MHZ...
Reached a 1300 MHZ HT and that was great ...
But what about performance ????
WIN OR LOSE at those high HT ????

I set the FSB at 250 and multi X 8 = 2000 MHZ CPU like default 3200+ speed...
Left my GFX 5900 card on 400 GPU - 900 MEM.....

And here is what i get......

Dagalidis · 07-26-2004, 09:51 PM

Strange .....
AT X2 LTD = 2X250 = 500 HT i get the BEST 3D Scores but at X5 LTD = 2X250 HT i get the BEST PI Scores....

I dont know what to say....
If its possible make some of your BENCHES and post it right here to make a conclusion

very interesting. did you run '01 and '03 a couple of times to make sure it was not just benchie variances

Dagalidis · 07-26-2004, 10:57 PM

3 times per 3D Bench

Dagalidis · 07-26-2004, 11:15 PM

Here is an other view...
Marked green apps Highest score...

Very strange indeed.

Excellent finding Dag, now only some with an Nforce3 250 would do the same, hell I would but my board took a crap on me.

nice work. i hope your card is usually oced cause its killing 3d performance. maybe ocing it would change the 3d results at higher hts?

that'd be a good idea except i know for a fact that my board doesn't have LDT of 5x

Anyone care to offer a possible explanation of what's going on there with 3D?

This is a totally un-educated guess, but maybe it influences the real time clock slightly?

GenTarkin · 07-27-2004, 09:35 AM

awesome, so really, for the sake of lowering to overclock...there really isnt that huge of a concern for lower performance. Accross the entire board...they are fairly close.

Dagalidis · 07-27-2004, 09:57 AM

3D Benches repeated again and allmost get the same.....
I dont know WHY but maybe its a mobo issue......
I will repeat those benches with different multis to see if anything change....

blinky · 07-27-2004, 10:25 PM

i think its a chipset issue not a mobo issue

but thats real weird how 3dmark like low HTT

someone plz bench on nf3 250, and well see whats up with this

reject · 07-28-2004, 03:56 AM

i cant wait to try this mobo!!!
i think that with a higher oc you may see some performnce increases at higher HTs more than lower. just a thought

saaya · 08-25-2004, 01:48 AM

very interesting! will make it a sticky

Kunaak · 08-25-2004, 02:24 AM

the HT speed is the bandwidth from the CPU to the AGP slot if I remember right...

maybe the videocard responds better to bandwidth similar to AGP8X bandwidth...

man that sounds like a brain fart, cause I can't bring the idea together....

Dagalidis · 08-25-2004, 02:48 AM

Today just arrived my new ABIT KV8PRO 1.1 Revision Board....

I will repeat all benches from begining to see if those strange results appear again.....

CodeRed · 08-25-2004, 03:38 AM

Very interestng results indeed.

It is possible that the BIOS is disabling some tweaks when the higher LDT multis are used eg Extended Control Time is one of them.

Dagalidis,
I will package up a special version of A64 Tweaker which will display these settings. It would be very interesting to see what is being used. Just give me a day or so to do some clean up

EDIT: try this version: A64Tweaker 0.5 XT beta . Not all of the feature work yet, but it should display your current settings correctly.

Blaster · 08-25-2004, 03:42 AM

yes, interesting stuff !!

We need some results from NF3 ppl

, to compare to the VIA chipset...

Thank you my friend....

A64 Tweaker is VERY VERY good tool....

It time to clear up whats going on here ..... Your Special Version is Welcome ....

I just edited my previous post with a link to a debug build.

Lets hope it works

Dagalidis · 08-25-2004, 03:57 AM

I will try late in the night when my rig is up again.....

Thanks...
